> I don't scoff at people eating meat, let them be.

Why not let the animals be?


I'm just happy to be on the food chain at all...

Most websites still don't

So if someone broke into your house, murdered you, and stole all your money, you would die peacefully, knowing that the thief will be prosecuted?


What? They murdered me then stole my money. I’m dead before I knew I was robbed so in your scenario I can’t die knowing the thief would be prosecuted, because I’m already dead. I literally dont care what happens then because I have no agency at that point in time.


That's my point

> Address how it makes you feel and the argument being made.

Why are you telling other people what to talk or not to talk about?


It’s ok to tell people to come correct


Hrmph I say!


So, you have already fixed all the bugs and now just cruising through life?


No technology ever became obsolete?


Is that not enough?


It is (and even if it is not, it's just the way it is...).

what I'm arguing is that it's not only the workspace where we all are disposable and replaceable. It happens in friends and family context, too.

What to do with this information... I'm not sure. But usually it's a good first step to see things clearly.


> There's reason to believe our bodies may be more adapted to eating natural or traditional foods

By this logic, you shouldn't eat modern meat, as its very different from the one our ancestors were eating. Modern meat is mostly fat


I agree it's probably healthier to eat wild meat or homegrown meat grown on healthy pasture than it is to eat feedlot meat grown on whatever they feed them there. There are lots of differences between them.

Not particularly because it has more fat though. While it's true that wild deer for example especially in warmer climates can have very little fat, there are plenty of animals that were traditionally eaten all over the world that have much higher proportions of fat. Fish, geese and ducks and many kinds of birds, whales and seals and lots of aquatic mammals, bears, etc.

I'm not trying to argue in favor of industrial beef at all I'm just trying to say that natural animal fat isn't necessarily unhealthy. (I really want to know actually if it is, because I do eat a lot of it, and have for much of my life. As far as I can tell I'm very healthy but I'm always open to learning. I have not yet found any compelling evidence for natural animal fat being bad.)


And they say there's no socialism in the US


Cycling is not just a leisure activity and cars are not a full bike replacements.


The point I was trying to make is that whether you should use AI for coding depends on the scale and nature of the task. To continue the original analogy, even if it's not leisure, a bicycle is a practical choice for short-distance travel. Of course, a car doesn't perfectly replace a bicycle. But would that still be true for distances of tens or hundreds of kilometers? And this is just an analogy; if you don't like cars, an electric bike, a scooter, or something similar is fine.


>if you don't like cars, an electric bike, a scooter, or something similar is fine.

Assuming that society hasn't been stroaded into artificially favoring cars, to the point where other options become effectively removed, even if they would otherwise have been better-suited to the use case.
